    Vodafone App Star winners announced 

    The first phase of Vodafone App Star competition has recently ended, and the full list of winners, 3 for each country, have finally been announced, as you can read here.

    I’m happy to say that one of my widgets (Guida TV) won the second country prize for Italy!!! :)

    Now, the second phase of the competition is running, and you can vote for the eight finalists to decide which will be the overall winner!  Public voting will end on 21st May, and by sending your preference you will also have a chance to win a brand new Vodafone H1 device.

    AdMob launches Flash Lite SDK! 

    Good news for all Flash Lite developers: AdMob officially launched its Flash Lite SDK!

    The funny thing is that Flash Lite is mentioned as an “emerging” platform, even if it’s not that young :)

    From the official announcement:

    In 2009, we reported an installed base of 80+ million devices with Flash Lite support in Japan. To download the Flash Lite SDK, log into your account, select the “Sites & Apps” tab, and click on the “Add Site/App” link. On this page, you can register your Flash Lite app and then download the SDK.

    This will finally allow all Flash Lite developers to easily integrate AdMob advertising into their applications and games, without the need to implement this functionality from scratch.

    After the announcement of in app purchasing for Flash Lite from Kuneri, this is a big step towards the monetization of Flash Lite content, and will hopefully help the Flash Lite developers’ community to grow further.

    Maybe we won’t become all billionaires, but who knows? :)

    New Flash Lite application: explore the world by images with 10×10™ Mobile! 

    Leonardo recently released a new, cool Flash Lite app for S60 touch devices: 10×10™ mobile!

    10×10™ (‘ten by ten’) is an interactive exploration of the words and pictures that define the time. The result is an often moving, sometimes shocking, occasionally frivolous, but always fitting snapshot of our world. Every hour, 10×10 collects the 100 words and pictures that matter most on a global scale, and presents them as a single image, taken to encapsulate that moment in time. Over the course of days, months, and years, 10×10 leaves a trail of these hourly statements which, stitched together side by side, form a continuous patchwork tapestry of human life.

    The app is available for free on both Ovi Store and GetJar. Here is a short video of 10×10 Mobile running on a Nokia N97: smooth, isn’t it? :)

    Good job Leo!

    Maemo and Moblin merged to MeeGo! 

    Here’s the big news from Intel, Maemo and Nokia: MeeGo!

    MeeGo is an open source, Linux project which brings together the Moblin project, headed up by Intel, and Maemo, by Nokia, into a single open source activity. MeeGo integrates the experience and skills of two significant development ecosystems, versed in communications and computing technologies. The MeeGo project believes these two pillars form the technical foundations for next generation platforms and usages in the mobile and device platforms space.

    Moblin and maemo are merging! We are taking the best pieces from these two open source projects and are creating the MeeGo software platform. Both teams have worked for a long time to support the needs of the mobile user experience – and MeeGo will make this even better. We want it to be fun, focused, flexible, technically challenging and ultimately, something that can change the world.
